bytecode JUMP_IF_* always followed by POP_TOP?

[Christos TZOTZIOY Georgiou]

On Thu, 22 Apr 2004 13:48:16 -0700, rumours say that "Robert Brewer"
<fumanchu at amor.org> might have written:

>I notice that, whether JUMP_IF_FALSE jumps or not, the next instruction
>it executes is POP_TOP (in the above, instruction numbers 6 and 14).

The following thread is relevant <long URL>:

Check also my next message in that thread.

I remember the results were not that impressive in pystone and some
other benchmarks (1-2% or less).
